I saw this on Transdesign and was really excited because I love the CND Effect polishes. I got it and played with it and I'm bummed! I am really disappointed in the set. The duo includes Just Red, a red creme, and Red Sparkle. I bought it just for the Red Sparkle and all it is is fine red glitter in a clear base. What?! That's it?! Where is the amazing sparkle that the other Effect polishes have? Where is the cool shimmer and possible shifting of colors? It's just red glitter! Blah! The red polish is a nice basic red creme that leans to the cool side. Double blah!

If you want some awesome red glittery polishes I suggest Models Own Scarlet Sparkle, China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Orly Star Spangled. And there are a number of others. I still love the other Effect polishes but I suppose every family needs a black sheep and this is the black sheep of the Effect line.

Here is Just Red.

Here is the basic red glitter that they call Red Sparkle. *growl*

Here is Red Sparkle (which is a glitter and not a sparkle) over Just Red.
